ENGLISH GRAMMAR 1º ESO (May, 7th)



COMPARATIVE FORM OF ADJECTIVES

-We use the comparative form to compare things.

-In Spanish, we form it in the same way for all the adjectives (más alto que, más cómodo que)

-In English, we have different ways to form the comparative depending on the number of syllables of the adjective (we count them according to their pronounciation) we are working with.

For example, adjective with one syllable (short) and with two syllables ending in –Y (happy), add –ER THAN (taller than) (happier than) to form the comparative.

 Adjective with three or more syllables(comfortable) and adjectives of two syllables not ending in –y (boring), use MORE …THAN (more comfortable than)(more modern than).
